The semicontinuity conjecture for minimal log discrepancies
Let be a normal -Gorenstein variety over an algebraically closed field of characteristic , and let be a formal -linear combination of proper closed subschemes of with positive coefficients. For a closed point , write
The semicontinuity conjecture for minimal log discrepancies. The function
is lower-semicontinuous on the closed points of . The conjecture concerns the variation of singularities in algebraic families and is a central open problem in the theory of minimal log discrepancies. The source gives no resolution status for this statement.
